| Software allows Mumbai police access to info on criminals |
POLICEMEN may no longer have to rummage through old tattered records. They could have all the information needed at the click of a mouse.
Meenal Bhatia and
Ajit Shirodkar, software
experts from Comply Solution, have designed
a software called Police Investigation on Reports
(PIR), which will main-tain crime records, history
sheets of criminals, their photographs and other
important police data.
The software enables police-men to access any kind of information and allows network-ing between police stations, all for just Rs 5,000 per package.
"For instance, PIR can give you the statistics of house break-ins at night with just a few clicks of the mouse," said Bhatia. |

So far, the software has been installed in police station at Dadar, Jogeshwari, Goregaon, Malabar Hill, Colaba, Cuffe Parade, Azad Maidan, Dongri, Pydhonie, DB Marg, MIDC, Khar, Juhu, JJ Marg, and LT Marg.
Inspector Arvind Wadhankar, of the JJ Marg Police, said, "The software is extremely useful and information is easily accessible. Detailed reports can be prepared within no time."
Inspector Vasant Tajne, of the LT Marg police, is also happy with the software. "It suits our needs perfectly. Now we don't have to dig out damp, fungus-infected regis-ters to check old records," he said.
Senior Inspector Uttam Chopne, of the Dadar police, said, "The net-working between police stations can become effective only when more police stations install it."
Bhatia said she came up with the idea while talking to the woman sub-inspector with whom she shares a room as a paying guest. "She mentioned the prob-lem the police faced in maintaining records, and I started working on the idea," she said. |
